this is the first time republicans have controlled this many statehouses since 1926. they really shored up -- the goal was to not pick up extra seats, but to shore up their base. you also have the rising up of the tea party, which is new. that was a response to george bush and some of the policies that his base felt took the united states into the fiscal abyss with the medicare part b and the war and what not. so you have this very activated based on spending issues, which has been successful in electing hard-liners who read the polls and see the compromise is not the important thing. the important thing is standing on principle. if you dive into that, you will see that a lot of republicans believe standing under principles is more important than compromise. host: joe in cincinnati. republican line. caller: i would like to comment on how i really think this election and term of service barack obama will have, he will really focus on the bipartisanship. i would also like to ask, what are they eating for lunch? host: for lunch they are dining steamed lobster, new englan
